Luke starts 2nd half good luck nipper.

But why are the likes of Rooney and Gerrard still on the pitch. Everybody knows that they are definitely on the plane for Brazil. So why not give a full 45 minutes to players that are not a cert for the world cup.

This is only a friendly so the result doesn't matter. But it's the last friendly before Hodgson has to name his squad. So get a good look at the remaining contenders for a WC place, including our remaining three players.

I should add that I would still be making this comment even if we had no Saints players in this particular squad. My Saints bias is not influencing my comment. I just can't see the point in playing "safely safely" in your last friendly before naming the final squad for Brazil."
